Free Linux or Paid Windows? - Time for a change


Linux or Windows

Ask anyone who has used Linux operating system for a while and you'll receive all but positive responses about Microsoft Windows. Some people even tell that they hate to use Winodws. Why is it so? Are they crazy to think Linux is more user-friendly than Windows? But wait, since they have used both Linux and Windows for long enough to be able to compare them, there must be something true about it, right?

If you want to compare Microsoft Windows Vista and Ubuntu, a flavour of Linux see this video:



See the difference? People who admired the graphics and visualization abilities of Windows Vista when it entered the market, are now blaming it for using huge resources. When Linux can do it in a better way for free with much less system resources, why pay Microsoft for doing it pathetically? Whenever we hear about Linux, we hear that it is more secure, powerful, server-class operating system. Moreover, Linux is completely free. No need of purchasing, applying the key, activating blah-blah. Then why is it not as popular as Windows? The only reason I can think of might be due to its installation, which is not as straight forward as that of Windows. But believe me, it is not very hard to learn. One more thing: as a Vista user, I hereby declare that VISTA SUCKS!

A good news, if you are willing to switch to Linux: Ubuntu gives FREE CDs. No shipping charges also. All you need to do is to register yourself and request for it!

shey man i know tht vista has bugs but initially even xp crumbled a lot and gradually it rised to the pinnaCLE, in the same way vista may improve with improvisations

Yes, it can improve. But remember the huge amount of resources Vista needs to run. It fails to impress even with 1 GB of RAM. At the same time also think of Linux which can run with no hassles with just 128 MB or 256 MB RAM.

But harisha i dont think ppl should be worried that vista is consuming hell lot of memory right, coz u can get 4gig ram for less than 3k :)

ya i have used both Linux as well as Windows XP and VISTA, but i always felt for personal use windows is better than Linux.
Just my personal opinion.
